Happy Birthday Rob Gavagan!

"Remember, you may not believe it, but anything is possible in a world so seriously strange."
-Rob Gavagan

Rob Gavagan formerly known as Rob Dyke, is an Irish American YouTuber and internet personality.

Rob has two series' called "Seriously Strange" and "Why Would You Put That on The Internet", both horror/true crime and comedy based. Seriously Strange has a number of subseries' called "Twisted Tens", "Serial Killer Files", "Truth or Tale", "Caught on Camera", and "Into The Dark".

Rob Gavagan created his YouTube channel in September 2012. He started off making vlogs and comedy sketches, before starting his two currently running series, "Seriously Strange" and "Why Would You Put That on the Internet." To this day, Seriously Strange remains as Rob's most popular series, one of its videos being the first to hit one million views on the channel.

If the name Rob Dyke sounds more familiar than Rob Gavagan, this is because in January 2019 he legally changed his name to Rob Gavagan.  Gavagan is a name which used to be associated with the strong Irish ancestry in his family, but went extinct several generations ago.  He changed his name due to YouTube targeting his old name as non-advertiser friendly, as "Dyke" is also an offensive slur for a lesbian,
Rob changed it for other reasons, as well, stating that he ddn't want his old last name to hold him back professionally in avenues outside of YouTube, such as becoming an author under his real name.
With the amount of serious-based content Rob makes, he didn't want his old last name detracting from that. (Poor guy) :(

He dropped out of high school, earned his GED, and then pursued a degree in Criminal Justice at Mount Wachusett Community College in Gardner, Massachusetts.
He worked as a Private Investigator, Executive Protection specialist, a counselor for sexual offenders (most with developmental disabilities), and then did undercover store security for JCPenney before quitting to pursue his passion of comedy and film.

Rob also has a channel called Zombie Horse where he posts gaming, comedy and sketches.
He has been an outspoken advocate for breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and has admitted to suffering and being diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and General Anxiety Disorder. He has suffered with these disorders almost his whole life, with each becoming substantially worse after the YouTube Adpocalypse :(

I recommend his main channel if you are someone that is interested in serial killers. He makes lots of interesting and detailed videos about these people.
